Fray G

Got to see this the other night, hats off to the Commissario. I liked this one, mainly due to the cool downbeat atmosphere. Sparse with dialogue and nice ramshackle sets were plusses. It could have used a bit more action and I thought Hossein's mug did'nt particularly fit the role but i'll definately return to it. I liked the ending a lot, it was pretty effectively shot.

IL COMMISSARIO

I bought one of the two Guiliano Gemma boxsets. It was four movies plus a fifth disc of interviews. Great packaging. It was cheaper than buying them separately. Would have bought the other one but none of the films had an english track. There was a beautiful print of ARIZONA COLT aka MAN FROM NOWHERE in there.

IL COMMISSARIO

The villain pursues the hero into a haunted house at night. It's dark and several false scares then a guy in a mask shows up. The hero and villain exit. The Manchus show up unexpectedly and skewer the villain. The hero, realizing he cannot escape leaps into the air as the Manchus riddle his body with arrows. You'd have to see it. The ending in AC immediately reminded me of ROAR THE LIONS ending. Some bits play out exactly. Since spaghettis played in Shaws numerous theaters I'm sure this one did as well.
